Remembering Anna Jamina Cabatac
Month
of March is the month of graduations. This is the time when students
and their parents reap the fruit of their labor for the academic
pursuit. This is the time when honor students are given medals
symbolizing their academic mastery. This is the time when students leave
a chapter in their life and jump into a new challenge. This is the time
when graduates feel the excitement of
entering another year coupled that with the feelings of fear and anxiety
brought by uncertainties of the future.
Last year’s graduation
in Mamburao Central School was far from a normal graduation occasion.
Anna Cabatac, a graduating honor pupil, was kidnapped, raped and
murdered. Who would not cry for vengeance for that evil act? Justice for
Anna!
I am writing this article not to bring again the pain
which the family and friends of Anna. I am writing to send a message
that after a year, during this graduation month, we remember Anna.
Year has passed. The legal battle continues. We hope that the judge who
hears this case would expedite the coming of the judgment for the
perpetrators of the said crime.
Until now we still shout: Justice for Anna!
Let us pray for the repose of the soul of Anna.
